syria's troubles truce and the nationwide rallies flare up along with the reports of ongoing killing the u.n. security council decides on the move to send in cease fire observers. hope sort of breakthrough by breaking the solid as well powers meeting the drug program for the first time in more than me. go to prevent an indian election where could candidates leave citizens choosing between the next american youth groups to.

around the world and around the clock says r.t. syria's three day old cease fire is being put to the test with reports of ongoing clashes and killing u.n. top one is expected to vote on saturday for deploying a monitoring mission but antigovernment rallies have resumed across the country but there's concern and hijacked by the rebels sana boy to reports now from damascus. it was good friday for syrian of the christians but it didn't bode well for the country at large three people lost their lives in demonstrations nationwide threatening the fragile ceasefire before it even reached the end of its second day of opposition groups not messing about stop provoking for the clashes in syria and actually put into effect what kofi anon to peace plan wants which is to sit down on the groceries and table with the government as with all their uprising in the arab

spring largest of clashes in syria have often taken place after friday prayers in what some believe has been and may need for a legion for political aims but in the run up to dive day this week the opposition tried a new tactic. possibly removed from the repercussions of their statements exults revolutionaries made the point the demonstrations and the ceasefire could include exist only moments the troops on withdrawn from the cities those people in the government in the regime know very well that hundreds of thousands. freedom speaking crowds have become a glorified image of the arab spring but in reality demonstrations often resulted in crime and violence in egypt journalists were sexually harassed as protesters demanded more rights in libya a soldier was lynched right between calls for elections. there are fears that

rallies may be deliberately used to derail the peace process i am very concerned that in case of sort of large gatherings of people the possibility of provocations will be greatly enhanced so instead of instead of talking about demonstrations opposition leaders must finally formulate their attitude towards political dialogue demonstrations here are not banned but those who hit the streets without permission from the interior ministry swiftly arrested and while this official admit some heavy handedness on the part of the government he says it's borne out of the security challenges serious currently facing when one of the challenges the government is facing is distinguishing between democratic protesters and armed groups we are not afraid of the peaceful opposition because the screen of the government's own supporters who we are trying to prevent these armed groups using these demonstrations for provocations killing civilians and killings on the government especially when the ceasefire is still in its early stages but it

doesn't mean that political discourse is stifled for decades syrians have gathered in the countries many who cafes were no topic is now off limits of the congo and go to france italy working. so you talk about. in this group of high school friends old have studied or traveled abroad and while they are perfectly familiar with the notion of western liberties they say what's being imposed in syria now has nothing to do with freedom and what's. worse is that free and easy for you. i wasn't. it was used to. refer to. anybody else where are they going to. start asking for the lives of my. everybody for free. and that's what continues driving syrians apart some are fighting for freedom others i fearing for their lives the right to demonstrate is

an undeniable human right but is it equal to the right to leave well maybe syrians do recognize that their country's political system needs to be changed but they see first things first and if opposition is genuinely interested in stopping the bloodshed for the time being it may consider responding to their government cease fire with their own seize down initiative. artsy damascus syria but a writer and commentator for them and has been closely following serious conflict since it began he says the u.s. and its allies are fueling the trouble by backing your position. the rebels are being armed from outside and they've been sent in from outside they've been trained by the cia by french intelligence by british intelligence and sent in there to create these incidents these random shootings of civilian buses school children and so forth and then get labeled on the government these are armed gangs of

mercenaries and often we don't even know what it is some people i've spoken to ben throughout syria they don't know who they're fighting for a fight against they're just paid money given guns and go in there to al-qaeda that hillary clinton is supporting al qaeda if we're to take literally you have journalists from al-jazeera resigning in protest because al-jazeera is refusing to tell the truth about us but outside syria this is an armed intervention and you legally buy a lation when chart about the united states and various other countries including most likely turkey here to try to destabilize. any steps regime that should be against you and charter for the first time in fifteen months international progress on iran's nuclear program are to resume six major world powers on terror on really a two on saturday in turkey. with a solution this time they're going to move to defuse tension in the region especially with israel threatening

a preemptive military strike iran has been increasing its raining which is which it says is a peaceful end to the west suspect since making the bomb the u.s. and europe have imposed tough sanctions on iraq comes into force by countries have complied with china as a plane now expanded iran's type of fleet but economists say as a punishment to suffer more from the sanctions. it's absolutely tragic for them because just the point in time where all of the other colors of their civilization are gradually being kicked i because the fiscal moment is a total disaster they find that the oil that they hard very reasonable prices is suddenly going to have to go to market rates all of that are going to have to translate words from somewhere else so it's one of these curious predicaments were no one really wants to argue about the politics of the affair but ultimately it's the european union's weakest nations that are actually in

a direct line to suffer more than necessarily the really uncertain selves i mean clearly the e.u. has a series of different issues that it wants to bring forward and one of them is that the european union wants to appoint some kind of major foreign powers and the problem then is of course that sometimes you have to do things in foreign policy the well to use an old irish expression you end up cutting off your nose to spite your face in other words you end up with a problem because actually economically you can hurt your own people rather than somewhere else but again i think the problem with this is it's a kind of growing pain for the european union because they haven't really got their head around how they can manage to juggle all the different balls of multinational state today whether it be in the economy where they're feeling abysmal and or indeed in international states who are obviously they're trying very very hard to stop around getting a nuclear weapon but at the same time where they don't it is not good for their economy. well on the way the challenges of rocket science is north korea faced with

the south like it already has to succeed it's in sparking global hearing about the threat overhyped. and triplett this generation is going to pay the brunt of the loans are making a comeback in three. elections should be about choosing outstanding citizens who will do their civic duty in new delhi on sunday or get to choose from and that fraudsters and whether suspects out a fifth of candidate simply have a criminal past it's pretty shrewd in our expense. show pinney's has been a counselor representing one of the wards in india's capital city for five years he's up for reelection this year and says he wants nothing more than to serve his community. and politics is want social work i'm in it to serve the public because that gives me satisfaction i know their needs but alongside these lofty aspirations

are some murky allegations denise has been charged with attempted murder intimidation assaulting a public servant and armed rioting he says he's not guilty of the charges but he's not the only candidate in this year's municipal elections facing serious allegations according to the association for democratic reform about fifteen to twenty per cent of candidates from both major political parties have a criminal background many actually have pending cases involving serious allegations like murder kidnapping extortion and robbery and actually in a recent local election tend to sound like candidates who are actually campaigning from and shale. of the one hundred thirty nine candidates in jelly's municipal election the niece has the second highest number of charges pending against him but he says the allegations are bogus and that on

a general level the problem in india isn't as serious as it sounds. with. there's no truth in the it's a conspiracy i was in front fighting for the people when they charged me with faults like his ations how can anyone called as a criminal case. the cho car is working to make indian political candidates backgrounds more transparent to voters he says money often means power regardless of how it's obtained with. the money and the power of the most of the. money and both. money. and are going to well the indian parliament could pass a law to make it illegal for criminals to run for office choke our doubts it will happen since almost a quarter of the lawmakers themselves have trouble pasts in

a country known for corruption and bribery some voters say they simply want to elect someone who they think can get the job done we should not bother so much with the history of the politician standing up for elections whether he's been a criminal in the past or notes only we need to see is whether he brings to us but in a country where so much development is needed others feel that process is being undermined by shady allegations where candidates backgrounds are now very much in the foreground preassure either new delhi india. well while some of those criminals are running for office another high profile the indian national has been mistaken for a terrorist three trips abroad something reports tonight hollywood superstar wrote on detained and u.s. airport the second time. around because of his name. also on

a century since its wartime leader. son kim jong il bale before we crowd in yang i mean this sort of patience north korea has been there day runs to the roads and then to see this movement so. well you can nation. really career is this to say but this is the long range nuclear weapons. expert. who says some anyone but in many respects north korea is technologically quite advanced and has been for many years for many decades its major problem of course is money it costs half a billion dollars to launch one of these rockets that's a lot of money in north korea they don't have a lot of money to continually test these things so failure frankly is more likely than success on the side of threat does north korea really represent

a threat well frankly it doesn't have much in the way of a military at this point of course has a very large army we're talking about a military that is declined rather precipitously relative to the south korean military and certainly relative to the u.s. military the nuclear program was in some sense an attempt to level the field the fact that it doesn't have much of a nuclear program and it's held to task neither of which were particularly successful try to put a satellite into orbit hasn't been successful that suggests that this attempt to level the playing field is really represents for north korea kind of a baseline of deterrence but no kind of offensive threat for other countries. well still ahead this hour when dreams turned deadly. three hundred some remains we had a refrigerated truck parked out here. to help with the overflow. the search for

in debt the u.k. government has a plan but buyers beware all's not as it seems chancellor george osborne wants to bring back never ending loans dumping the government's crippling debts on to future generations it'll still be borrowing and this is money george and friends won't have to pay back sounds too good to be true that's because it is i think every state. this is a good time for the u.k. tax by for these to be issued but that begs the question of who would buy it if it's a good time to issue them then it's not a good time to boy there would be buyers at the taxpayers themselves shouldering the government's vast one trillion pound debt pile by lending it money also on off a bonds that will make sure after one hundred years these workers if the government's taking out a very generous mortgage benefiting from its current rock bottom interest rates for

another century bad news for whoever is lending the money the only way you could actually make money here is if there was no inflation between now and the year twenty one twelve a very optimistic outlook take the last hundred years for example if i did bested one hundred pounds back in one nine hundred twelve iterates of three point four percent say this year it would have turned into almost three thousand pounds sounds ok in itself but it's nothing compared to what i would have got just from inflation which would have seen one hundred pounds ballooned into almost nine thousand so who would fall for such a cheap trick well no one of course but that's where the government gets its own investment rules will force pension funds to buy against their will not exactly fair play but this is a monopoly with only one winner you know this is what happens in markets when governments and the risks are enormous you know the risks of buying

a one hundred year. gilt from the u.k. government on historical evidence given inflation patterns in the past would suggest that. anything close to current yield you would lose money on the last time britain issued never ending loans with after world war one a massive deficit still burning a hole in the taxpayers pockets even today and now base governments doing the same offloading its own mountain of debt to be someone else's problem want to ban it r t london. and we are asking is the digital driver coming us down. you taxed you or y. o. u. for the word you. get you like i showed everything. will make me that marines good to. take you with me in school. your to

a proper burial one day becomes not so much an effort to determine why that person died it becomes an effort to sort out who's who were inside of the pima county cooler at the medical examiner's office which has a capacity to hold hundreds of bodies now this facility is much larger than other places around the country pacifically because of the issue of bodies being pounds along the border even so lack of storage is a major headache three hundred summer means we had a refrigerated truck parked out here. to help us with overflow some arrives he expects they will need it again the department of homeland security recently boasted about the sharp drop in border patrol rest suggesting that government's crackdown has helped curb illegal immigration and migrant deaths have remained consistently high so it's getting near the border is absolutely deadly and more than sixty thousand have that along the us mexico border since one thousand nine

in this information sharing digital age is it possible gore dumbing down and not intellectually advancing our society this week let's talk about that do you think it's making society smarter or dumber dumb or why is that because people use words that they do stupid things smarter. information sharing of information immediately richard it is really important but there's a lot of misinformation being shared to people on the internet they think it must be true oh i hope. we all retired teachers so we used to have children. i mean pupils at school sometimes they only copied on the internet just subjects they had to to do for law and and sometimes they copy stuff

that's just not true because the internet doesn't always write write write we don't look for it and the libraries sit. i think yes there are some publishers are considering making books digitally that have pictures and animations instead of just words now do you think that that's going to have an effect if it is that all of the richer is worth reading you don't need all the. right so why are they doing that because people don't want to read. do you think that's a product of the information and. i think every generation story says they're always been people who didn't like to read this in can make a smarter or dumber if the parents call you group and you take it what do you think the youth of today is doing with it. i think it can mean years and he uses this again to play and say really can the to use the old is

adventitious do you check still i. yeah do you text you or y. o. you for the word you. just you like shorten everything you make me dumber in school to. take you with me in school so you think you're that spelling as well as you say no doesn't it scare you that that's the world never live again yeah. but we're young so we don't we don't think about it but they're not think this digital age is dumbing down or raising up our society the bottom line is there's probably not much we can do about it anyway because the internet isn't going anywhere any time. it's easter weekend for millions of christians around the world as christiane says most significant russians are. today traditional. x.
